I am looking to upgrade shocks, and the Bilstein 5100 and 5150 shocks are leading the pack in my mind.
obviously the main difference is that the 5150 has a resevoir, so how beneficial is the resevoir? What will it take to go beyond the abilities of the 5100?
the extended and compressed lengths are the same, so no issue there.
Valving: the 5100 comes only in 255/70, the 5150 comes with 255/70 or 170/60. Is the 170/60 the appropriate valving for XJs (in general)? If not than the only real difference is the resevoir and bling factor. for $25-30 more per shock......
